A different starting point

The marketing has to fit the business.

We work with founders, leaders, and owners who know their business well. You are the master of your domain. You know how to build the product, how to execute the contracts. Yet you have limited time to explain it, promote it, and keep every piece of marketing up to date.

We begin with these details, working together.

  • We will look at where the business is already succeeding, and we will double down on these efforts. You’ve already built a strong foundation. How can we leverage this to scale upward?
  • We will navigate the fog of conflicting marketing advice, and evaluate which efforts will actually get you results. Not every business needs to have a regular social media presence. Some businesses don’t need a website at all. These are the honest conversations that excite us.
  • We will build a plan that actually aligns with what you can give. We know how difficult it is to manage the business already. There simply isn’t time to post on social media, send out emails to a list, run paid ads, optimize SEO, and run a community all while trying keep your customers and clients happy. Our goal is to find the one or two key actions that will move the needle for your business.

Together we will agree on what deserves attention first, with your time and budget in view. Then we will move forward, developing assets and systems that align with the vision you have for your business.

Our work combines research, writing, design, development, and implementation. We can develop the recommendations and help carry them through: a clearer offer, a rebuilt website, useful content, a reusable system, or a better way to follow up with interested customers.

Our offer

How we help move your project or business forward.

We meet you where you’re at. We look at the time, resources, and goals. We open a dialogue about what is both ambitious and realistic. We can help you choose a direction, build what it calls for, and keep it useful as the business changes.

    We review your offer, customer questions, and existing marketing. We identify what needs attention and explain which changes we recommend first, and why.

Who we work with

Owners who care about the business behind the brand

We work with owners whose knowledge and care are central to what they sell. Our experience includes health and wellness, ecommerce, and local services. We help make that knowledge visible in the marketing, whether the business is preparing to launch or has years of work behind it.

  • An idea worth exploring

    You don’t need to have it all figured out. We help aspiring entrepreneurs connect their values and ideas with a direction they can start putting into practice.

  • Small businesses, real stakes

    Your name is on the door and your reputation is personal. Let’s make your care, knowledge, and local character come through before the first conversation.

  • Startups finding their voice

    You know what you’re building. We help make it understandable to someone meeting it for the first time, with a story and presence you can build on.

  • Health, with a human voice

    People exploring care or wellness bring questions, uncertainty, and hope. Your brand should meet them with understandable language, thoughtful design, and respect.

  • Established, still evolving

    Sometimes the business has moved forward and the brand has stayed behind. We help close that gap while keeping what people already know and value.

The process

Good questions before good design.

  1. Get to the heart of it

    Tell us what you’re building, what customers value, and where things feel stuck. We’ll look at the work you already have and ask the questions behind the brief.

    01 · Listen
  2. Choose what matters now

    Set the message, priorities, and scope together. You should know what we’re making, why it matters, and what it will take.

    02 · Focus
  3. Give the idea its form

    Bring words and design together. Review real work, talk through the choices, and refine it with your knowledge of the business.

    03 · Create
  4. Make it part of the business

    Prepare the launch and handoff, then agree on what to watch, learn, and improve. The finished work needs a life beyond the presentation.

Client experiences

In our clients’ words

I have been blogging for more than five years. In 90 minutes, David created additional (and necessary) pages and created access for readers to get my additional content. David asked simple questions that I haven’t thought about to increase visibility and subscribers. David is competent and cuts straight to what’s necessary and helpful. David is worth the investment to increase visibility and access to content 😊
David was absolutely critical in helping me complete the marketing for my eCommerce business. His strategic approach, creativity, and deep understanding of digital marketing made a significant impact on our brand’s visibility and customer engagement. From refining our messaging to optimizing our campaigns, David went above and beyond to ensure success. Not only is he knowledgeable and result-driven, but he’s also incredibly easy to work with—responsive, detail-oriented, and always bringing fresh ideas to the table. Thanks to his efforts, we saw a noticeable increase in traffic and sales. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a skilled marketing professional!
I hired David to help me set up my website and email marketing for my business, which helps us bring in people for events. He advised me on different website platforms and helped select one that is a great fit for me. Initially, David set up pages and helped me write content. Since then, he's continued to support our business goals. Frequently I receive positive feedback about our business website and email marketing pieces. I couldn't have done it without David's help!
Ways to work together

Start with a decision, a project, or work that needs regular attention.

We offer a focused marketing review, a defined design project, or ongoing support. Each begins with an agreed question or scope, so we both know what the work needs to accomplish.

  • An agreed list of pages, assets, and responsibilities
  • Content and design developed around your customers’ questions
  • Review rounds and milestones set in the proposal
  • Launch or production handoff, with guidance for using the work

Ongoing marketing support

For owners who need someone to help keep the marketing moving. We agree on a recurring scope, do the work, and review what deserves attention next.

  • A shared list of priorities and who is responsible for each
  • An agreed mix of content, email, website, or search work
  • Regular review of customer response and available performance data
  • A record of completed work, decisions, and next steps
Questions

Before we get started

What does Antilo do?
We help businesses decide where to focus their marketing and carry the direction into websites, content, and customer follow-up. We offer a focused marketing review, defined design projects, ongoing support, and separate coaching conversations around business decisions.
Are you based in Denver?
Yes. Antilo is based in Denver, Colorado. However, we do serve clients outside the Denver area. We are currently working with a client in the United Kingdom, and we are still implementing Local SEO for their business. Tell us where your customers are so we can plan around the market you serve!
Can we start with a small project?
Yes. We can begin with a marketing review around one agreed question, a coaching conversation, or a defined piece of design work. We confirm what is included and the fee before starting.
Do you guarantee search rankings?
No. SEO and local search depend on many factors. We focus on relevant improvements and clear reporting, without promising a particular position. Our clients find that the work we do improves their search visibility and leads to more inquiries, but we cannot guarantee a specific ranking.
Do you only work with health and wellness businesses?
No. We spend a lot of time working with health and wellness businesses, but our work is not limited to this scope. We believe that, at the end of the day, every business is a health and wellness business when it has a values-driven mission and supports the well-being of its customers. We’re interested in what makes your business valuable and how we can help people understand it.
Is Antilo a fit for an early-stage business?
Yes. We can help you examine an idea through coaching or develop the message and materials for a launch. We agree on a useful first piece of work based on what you know about the business and what still needs to be tested.
